Company Tour for First Generation/Low income Middle and High School students

[boun11]

I work for an educational non-profit (www.eastbayconsortium.org). I am writing to see if anyone working for a company that can give a tour of their company and talk to our students about what they do. These students will be the first person in their family to graduate from high school and go on to college. I work with about 150 students or so. In the past, we visited google, Visa, Port of Oakland, Senator's office, State capitol, etc. The purpose of the visit is to expose our students to different type of careers and how it ties to their academic. Please let me know if your company would offer a tour for 20 or more students. The date for our career exploration field trip is on Friday, July 26th. Thanks in advance

Boun - I'm a contractor inside of the Shell Martinez Refinery so I can speak on their behalf but it would be worth a shot to give their Public Affairs department a call and see if they can help you out. Contact info below.

Although if they are graduating high school, probably too old for those.

I'm asking at work to see if we're capable of holding a tour. I'll let you know as soon as I hear back sometime next week. I work at a 2006 startup company that allows customers to create their own photo books, cards, and calendars (www.mixbook.com).

I will check my work at the Cal Trans bay bridge to see about large group tour. I have conducted personal tours myself.

I can't imagine 150 people in my back yard!
DSWong-
I'll bet there are many here, myself included, that would dig a tour of the new bridge!

Thanks! Please let me know. We have 3 middle school classes and 3 high school classes. So we can split them up if needed.

Thanks Rudy! Any lead is greatly appreciated! If you know someone there that we can ask that would be great. It usually works best if we know someone at the company. When we contact company directly sometime they don't return phone call or email at all.
